Machine Learning Powered Capacity Planning for Semiconductor Fab 

Dec 12, 2022 | 13:00 - 14:30, Roselle Simpor Ballroom 4603

Presenter: Dr. Keyhoon Ko, Managing Director for the Americas and the EMEA

 Abstract:
Semiconductor wafers are manufactured by stacking hundreds of layers engraved with circuit patterns. The Wafer fabrication process is characterized by a  re-entrant flow, which is a complex job-shop that consists of several work areas such as lithography, etch, and diffusion. Each work area has several workstations with one or more machines executing the same operation. Capacity planning for a wafer fab is difficult; it requires accuracy on machine count to meet demands on time. This study proposes a methodology to find the optimal machine count for each workstation using an approach that combines optimization, simulation, and machine learning techniques. The experimental example demonstrates that this approach can systematically provide a good and practical solution.

Cloud-based Supply Chain Planning, Connect to Innovation at Scale: Mozart Cloud

Dec 12, 2022 | 16:15 - 17:45, Peony Ballroom 4406

Presenter: Dr. Yong H. Chung

Abstract:
MOZART has improved the supply chain planning excellence for global semiconductor and display manufacturing leaders for over two decades. Our integrated solution for development and operations allows for the effective implementation of production planning and scheduling systems; leveraging pre-built libraries and capturing all rules and constraints. The customized application runs with real-time data, producing accurate end results. Our simulation tool utilizes trained machine-learning models designed for smart manufacturing operations. As VMS Solutions continues to innovate to another level and by leveraging our experience,  MOZART Cloud was developed, featuring a quick and easy software implementation, allowing for high-quality planning output, and stable system operations. Users can analyze the planning result with powerful embedded user interfaces which use the predetermined input and output schema. Featuring pre-built functions and rules to cover most of the requirements frequently asked by manufacturing companies.  Users can easily select rules and options to quickly implement and deploy within their manufacturing facilities. MOZART cloud has been implemented with great success by the automotive, electronics, machinery, and bio-chemical industries.
